Round Table

Marco Cl.

• Gaudi
  • added specific exit code for corrupted files (Markus, implemented the trigger of the incident)
  • few more improvements on CMake configuration (e.g. allow for use in the nightlies)
  • finalizing the release, while waiting for LCGCMT 64b
• Modified the "tag package" web interface to edit the CMake configuration file too.
• Committed CMake configuration to LHCb and planning Lbcom, Rec and Brunel by the end of the week (including some fixes to warnings).
• Will add a hook to disconnect from databases in DetCond, to allow for the 'late forking' implemented by Nathalie.

Joel

• Using MySQL on demand service for Dirac (instead of the custom instance).

Ben

• Released LbScripts v7r3 (as production).
• We have requests to run SLC5 binaries on SLC6 hosts (it works for gcc43, but it does not with gcc46... it requires a hack in LCGCMT tarball)
• Profiling memory of Stripping with latest RootCnv: 3GB -> 2.5GB (to be confirmed)

Illya

• Problem with Oracle ONLINE DB: '&' leaked in an XML strings
  • fixed all the problematic rows
  • Clara added code to sanitize XML before storing it in the DB.

Liang

• New tag.
• New SQLDDDB release planned for this week to release new scripts.
